I'm in the process of expanding this article - next - more Whanganui-Taranaki traditions. To come: Ngati Kahungunu, South Island, and Northland traditions, plus an expansion about the content and characteristics of Smith's orthodox version and a tidy up of the opening paragraphs.

Wow! Your revisions are amazing! Fascinating how much diversity there is. (And to think that all these articles used to begin "X is a figure in Polynesian mythology"; even "Maori" mythology is not a monolith. Bucketsofg✐ 18:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, That's the thing with oral traditions. Never monolithic unless everyone lives in one village - and even then.... Like your rearrangement. I knew the opening paras were a mess but I was leaving that till last for no good reason. Cheers. Kahuroa 19:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
